Hello, Austin, does anyone make the quick strut for the Fiero? Or is there a good reason that it cannot be made ahead of time? Looks like ALLOT of alignment issues need to be addressed that s particular to each strut. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together! i inherited My son's 88 Formula Fiero. I want to fix it up restore it as best i can as a tribute to the one thing he truly loved.
@FieroAustin2 күн бұрын
Hey! I am afraid I don't think there are any pre-assembled struts made. If there were, it'd probably be $300 vs. $30. They are not too difficult to get right in my opinion; but I leave a true alignment up to a shop to do. You also have this video to go by. I hope that helps, good luck!

A .880-.890mv on the air fuel ratio i find to be the best power range in tuning most gasoline internal combustion engine. Its best to run a Program Fuel Injection system with the ECU. No MAF, No O2 sensor, No EGR feedback to the ECU. The engine temperature must maintain a 170-180°F .
@FieroAustin2 ай бұрын
Are you talking about a lambda value of .880-.890 (~13.0 AFR gas equivalent)? That may be true but most people intended for this video are not using an external fuel injection system, so they would need feedback to understand whether the MAF is calibrated under boost. It could be done with looking at fuel trims but is difficult.

Only to a degree. 5% probably is not enough to warrant a full tune. The computer has about a 15% tolerance on adjustments to AFR. But a tune would always be better.
I had a Silver on gray black interior 1987 2m6 SE 4 speed manual with all the options just like the gt fast black had minus the 5 speed the GT got, but everything else was there, This car I purchased in 1995 for $1,800b 64,000mi in Denver CO private owner, I drove it for 6 years, put in a new clutch and I sold it to another student that loves cars for the same price $1,800. It was my favorite car back then and I miss it so much now at 40 yo LOL
bummer! They're still around... but not for that price!
@@FieroAustin I wish I kept it but at the time I couldn't to figure out how to change the 3 spark plugs next to the fire wall, there was no room you had to lift and tilt the motor 8 inches and I didn't have the tools for that at the time.
@@tomaszstarling1343 You can take the decklid off to allow more clearance on the V6s
@@FieroAustin wow I never thought of that, I feel so dumb. Thank you Austin
@@tomaszstarling1343 haha oh well doesn;t matter now. at least now you know!
Cool
Thanks!
@@FieroAustin you are welcome
Had the FIERO GT Model ( a low-flying rocket car) - LOVED the car when I was younger - got too OLD (me) had trouble getting in and out and so low to the ground that I couldn't see over other cars by me at lights so I had to sell it !! :-)
lol I understand the feeling... not easy getting in!
The fiero store doesn't rebuild the inner piston seal. Those are the real hens teeth.
Did not know that, that is a surprise.
Great Tutorial. I would like to add one item. When removing cable ends from bracket that has the tabs. I found a very easy and fast way of doing it. Use a 13mm box wrench over the barrel. It depresses the three tabs.
i'll have to try that. Thanks! P.S. I think you left a comment on the wrong video!
Very disappointed with this video. Too basic and not enough details to break down of how '88 calipers work... including replacing seal inside those pistons. Rebuilding those calipers would be nice. I still don't get how e-brake system works well. We need more details. This video is too short and very basic with no explanation.
Well sorry you felt that way. It would be very difficult to rebuild the caliper without special tools but it can be done, not something I wanted to do. I think once you open up the parking brakes on yours, it would be clearer. Try another video here. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eoZhrJJ9iKupn8Y.html

I have been dealing with this problem since January, what a headache it's been and I'm like 500 dollars in the hole and my brakes suck still all original replacements and a reconstructed calliper because I ruined one trying to do it myself 😞
I ruined my first one too, I stripped the banjo bolt threads out. Lesson learned. Replacing with steel hoses and the S10 booster definitely improved it!
Great video....wished it had been up a few weeks....years ago. ;)
Thanks Michael! Slow to the punch I know. Had it filmed last year!!!
Calipers Online is also a great source for '88 calipers. I've bought whole sets from them.
I would buy one but they do not come with power steering😥
It's actually not bad at all, they have plenty of mechanical advantage to turn the wheels. It's a little harder at a stop but definitely not a challenge. See if you can sit in one and try it out!
Hello, I don't know if you still respond since this video is from 1 year ago, but basiclly when you jack up the rear, the only thing that that prevents the car from rolling forward are only the wood blocks you placed infront and behind the front wheels?
Hey! honestly the car won't really move even without the blocks. But it's still a safety measure. Always be certain to at least use jack stands. The front tires move slightly backward when you lift the rear end.
@@FieroAustin Thank you very much for responding, I just got a Fiero Gt and the car has been sitting for over 20 years, so that means the handbrake wont work properly too, but if it is like you said, I am definitelly going to try it now with more convidence (and extra safety of course) tyvm
@@thelombax Here, check this out for safe jack points. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZ-cvKN9caW0k7g.html
@@FieroAustin Thank you I know that one. But it was looking way different when I tried to jack it up, for example the front is very long, And I am used to jack the car up like today any car on the 4 spots on the outer frame (Standard jacking points) Thanks man really appreciate your help
@@thelombax of course!
I ordered an early example. It was a disaster. Pontiac took it back and I got a Volvo.
Early Fiero? lol.
Long time ago 30 years 1984 indy fiero. I might have a slight idea of where that vehicle is parked. I'm going to restore it and buy it back. Is our iconic car. Not too many was produced from Pontiac.
nice!!!
Are you in ATX? Great cars btw!
No I'm not, but thank you!
@@FieroAustin Either way you should sell he that Satellite 😀
@@HiAxl haha afraid not.
Mine was almost exactly the same. Except the elestomeric bumbers and mirrors. No wing and Automatic 727 slap stick. Tried Holley carbs thermoquads Carters. Settled with the Holley. Got t boned in late 80s sure do miss it.
nice! dang what a ride. That edelbrock definitely vapor locks all the time. At least it's simple i guess. I might change it out some day.
Need more hp tuners videos
Probably not for a long time but I will keep it in mind
Man the best video ever❤ I understand more thing from this than from my last 10 days Thank u so much Pls upload more
Thanks bro! You bet. I am afraid I am probably not going to be doing many more tuning videos, at least not for a long time if I ever do.
Nice donuts and burnouts !!! I like the side air scoops. Where did u get them please ?
Thanks! They were from fierowarehouse but I am afraid that is shut down right now. This place is making some different styles (not sure they are in production currently) www.fierosidescoops.com/side-scoops
Can you still have fake knock if the balance shaft is just floating. (I have a double timing roller chain) so I didn’t take it out because I didn’t have caps to plug the holes.
Yes you can. Since the balance shaft isn't spinning, it's not balancing, therefore the knock sensors pick up that extra vibration and start fake knocking.
@@FieroAustin ok cool. Thanks Austin
@@RaisingRa of course. hit me up anytime.
Man I aint old enough to drive(I hate germany in this regard) and I just simply love Fieros maybe I will import one if I'm old enough.
Nice! that is when I tried to buy my first one.
@@FieroAustin What do you mean with that? I really don't understand. (as you couldnt drive you tried to get one? At least that is how I would interpret this)
@@dasgefalltoma5931 I tried getting my first Fiero at your age. No worries! Good luck hope it works out.
On my 3800sc I am running the c4 vette brake package and custom coilovers. I have 245/45zr17 on rear and 225/40zr17 on front. Handles like a dream. Mine also is not 88. Its an 85.
nice!!
@@FieroAustin I like your videos man!!
@@BrianD0069 Thanks for the feedback!
Anyone else see the paint flake of the side when he blasted it
lol yep. that was a poorly repainted panel. Doesn't look primed or anything.
I half expected it to catch on fire
lol. that's kind of a rumor!! a magazine wrote a hitpiece on them catching on fire and then sales went down and it went out of production. About 260 cars caught fire in total, pretty much due to lack of maintenance combined with a couple design issues.

Appreciate it man
DUUUUUUUUUDE!!!! That RR is Siiiiic ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
thanks bro!
Very nice.
Thanks!
A .880-.890mv on the air fuel ratio i find to be the best power range in tuning most gasoline internal combustion engine. Its best to run a Program Fuel Injection system with the ECU. No MAF, No O2 sensor, No EGR feedback to the ECU. The engine temperature must maintain a 170-180°F .
Are you talking about a lambda value of .880-.890 (~13.0 AFR gas equivalent)? That may be true but most people intended for this video are not using an external fuel injection system, so they would need feedback to understand whether the MAF is calibrated under boost. It could be done with looking at fuel trims but is difficult.
@@FieroAustin Agreed - definitely need feedback for calibrating the MAF via fuel trims (part throttle only) or wideband for WOT.
Quite the undertaking! Good job!
Oh hey thank you, would be interested in your detailed scrutiny and feedback since you're the pro!!!
@@FieroAustin I am certainly not a tuning pro - more like an advanced beginner. Swamped at the moment but if I find time I will go through it again in more detail and provide any input I have. Keep up the good work! Toys
@@Toys4Life Thanks Ken!
excellent video. keep them coming
